Calling from the car late Friday afternoon on her way to Albany, the mom said this weekend is going to be crazy. Ten minutes earlier, her daughter used the same word.
"It's crazy at my house right about now," Carly Fabbri said.
"And that," Tricia Fabbri said, laughing, "is why our family got into this."
On Sunday at TD Bank Sports Center, Tricia's Quinnipiac women's basketball team, riding a 21-game winning streak, can gain its first NCAA Tournament berth with a victory over St. Francis [Pa.] in the NEC title game.
"We've built off last year's 22 wins," Tricia said. "We've got 29 and to get to 30 would be so special. We're where we've got to win the championship. We're 40 minutes from what we want and I think the program will take a big step forward."
But first, on Friday, the mom had to go recruit in Albany. Then, on Saturday, she will gather with the Fabbri and Sacca clans to travel to Mohegan Sun Arena to cheer on Carly and Lauralton Hall against Mercy in the state Class LL championship. Fabbri even adjusted Quinnipiac's practice schedule.
"So we'll be able to get the entire parenting experience with my daughter playing for her first state title," Tricia said. "Lauralton Hall has played so well. And to get together with the parents, have a fun pregame and enjoy watching the game, we're really excited."
"My mom, my dad, both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles are coming, and then we'll all go to Quinnipiac Sunday," said Carly, a 5-6 junior guard. "It's going to be quite the weekend."
If you think this is a lot for one family to handle on one weekend, you're right. If you think you're dealing with the inexperienced, guess again.
"Sports," Tricia said, "is the family business."
Take the first MAAC championship won by Fairfield, in the late '80s. The Stags, when Tricia was a freshman, beat La Salle.
"We couldn't even stay at the hotel that night," Tricia said. "I had to go home with my parents, since two of my brothers were playing in the state [basketball] semifinals in New Jersey. I was at their game the next night."
You may have heard of one of Tricia's brother. Tony Sacca, 13 months younger than Tricia, was one of the leading passers in Penn State history. He played briefly in the NFL for the Cardinals. Their younger brothers, John and Ralph, also were accomplished athletes. The family is legend at Delran High in South Jersey.
"My dad [Paul Fabbri] jokes that I got all my athletic ability from mom's side," Carly said. "But he was a good athlete; he played hockey at Fairfield."
Adding to the hectic nature of the weekend, Paul is gearing up pitchers and catchers for his first year as Ridgefield baseball coach. Fabbri was coach at Notre Dame-Fairfield for 14 years, leading the Lancers to state titles in 2004 and 2009. The field there is named after his dad. Paul also had been girls hockey coach for 11 years at Ridgefield, where he teaches. Paul's and Tricia's son, A.J., plays football and basketball at Notre Dame-West Haven. And if you're thinking that sports genes are oozing through this story, well, we've only started.
Flowing through all this, too, is the relationship with the DeSantis family. Michelle, Lauralton Hall's accomplished senior guard, has played basketball with Carly since they were little. H-O-R-S-E, one-on-one, you name it. Michelle's dad, Joe DeSantis, a terrific player at Fairfield, is the former men's coach at Quinnipiac.
"Carly and Michelle played with each other and against each other in camps," Tricia said. "They played AAU and now in high school on this stage together. I'm so excited for them. Two coaches' kids, it's a feel-good story."
Carly started playing at her mom's camp when she was 3. She always loved to be around her mom's practices, the games, in the locker room. For a long time, she was the Quinnipiac water girl, or as Tricia calls says, "my hydration specialist."
"I loved being around the team," Carly said. "I couldn't get enough of it. Road trips, that was my favorite part. The girls welcomed me in the back of the bus. That was the coolest thing. I idolized them. My mom introduced me to the game and I've grown up with her forging this bond over basketball."
Said Tricia: "I told Carly the other day, the saddest thing is I miss is walking down after the first half and her always there to hand me a cup of water."

Warriors Conquest: Raul Carrillo Defeats Josh Torres via Unanimous Decision in Close Fight
Saturday night, the city of Longmont, Colorado hosted it's first ever professional boxing card at The Boulder County Fairgrounds. In the main event hometown favorite Raul "Chino" Carrillo (10-1), took on Albuquerque's Josh "Pitbull" Torres (7-2-1).
A decent sized crowd of about 500 was heavily in favor of Carrillo but a small contingent of Torres fans made the seven our drive up north from Albuquerque and made sure they were heard.
Fighting out of Team Tapia in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this would be the first time Torres stepped in the ring since the passing of his trainer 5-time, five-time world champion, Johnny Tapia.
The men appeared to trade the first two rounds. At the start Torres worked the body with effective jabs and hooks. He was also able to catch an off balanced Carrillo with several hard shots to the chin.
In the second stanza, appearing to settle in, Carrillo, outboxed Torres, using effective distanced punches. The Albuquerquean made the round a close with consistent four-punch flurries.
The middle rounds saw no stop in the action between the two men. A very aggressive Carrillo, came out to force much of the action. For most of the third he had Torres backing up unable to counter.
Turning the match into a slugfest in the fourth, Torres slowed Carrillo down by bullying him in the clinch against the ropes, forcing him to go defensive. The road fighter also did a better job of blocking and avoiding punches with constant pacing around the ring, away from Carrillo's right.
Within the first 10 seconds of the fifth round both men matched each others 10-punch flurries. It was just after the second flurry that Carrillo used a pair of lazy jabs to set up a huge right-left-right that rocked Torres. It it were not for one of the lower ring ropes Torres maybe have gone down. A more cognizant referee would have issued a standing 8-count.
Torres, would spend the following two and a half minutes of the round holding and bouncing around the ring attempting to regain his composure.
Despite appear to be on somewhat shaky legs in the final round Torres, would manage to stagger Carrillo with first a left hook to the chin then after three skirmishes the Longmont native would walk into a hard right jab. The men would exchange at closing of the round getting a rise out of the crowd with Torres landing the majority of the scoring.
The pro-Carrillo crowd was very tense before the scorecards were announced they all knew they saw a close six round fight but the scoring did not reflect that.
In a very competitive fight the judges final scorecard was a surprisingly wide one: 59-54, 58-56, 59-55 in a unanimous decision to Carrillo.

Love love love this magnet! :)
Gettin' Stitched Save the Date Magnets This design caught my eye right away! Once I customized it to my colors (charcoal grey, eggplant, hydrangea green) I loved how it looked. Charcoal was the background color with everything else in eggplant and green. The photos I chose to use were very colorful so that helped add the right amount of extra color. After purchasing, I liked how you could track what stage your order was in and it gave a description of what was being done. The magnets were produced very quickly and shipped before the estimated shipping date. Overall, I highly recommend ordering from here and I absolutely adore my save the dates! :)

118 Morgan St, St Louis, MO | Directions 6310238.630702 -90.183829
11 a.m. until 3 a.m.
Neighborhoods: Downtown St. Louis (East), Saint Louis, Downtown East
Had two Groupon party deals or this place. We've done this two years in a row. Expecting a good time like previous years...NOT! They completely changed the food policy. You get to drink for 3 hours with very little food included now. Not only is that UNSAFE and leaves them open to the dram shop law, it doesn't make for happy, repeat customers. We had 20 people there last night who will never set food it this place again! They overcharged for drinks, reduced the amount of food included and even made a sign a CONTRACT in advance saying that we would leave at least a 15% tip on a bill they over inflated to over $700, just to max out the Groupon! We too were thrown out because we refused to honor their 15% requirement of over $100 tip for overpriced drinks and hardly any food included (complete change from previous years). Save yourself some trouble....DO NOT GO TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE!!!
Aggressive power-happy bouncers who roughly grab and push women around. Horrible bartenders who make extremely watery drinks and are very rude. Crazy expensive and not worth it. If you want to have fun then go someplace else.
The night started off good. It wasn't packed and drinks were decent, but still cool. I got kicked out and to get back at a customer, they charged me over double for my tab!!!! My friend and I both remember how many drinks we had and I was completely dshocked at the price. The place wasn't that great so I would expect the service to be that much better to any customers, but I guess not. I definitely don't reccommend this palce. There's so many better places to go to in St Louis.
HORRIBLE – HATED this bar BOTH times I've been there. Both times the bouncers have been ridiculous and complete tools. The bar tenders were nice and made good drinks but did not make up for the Douche-bag bouncers. Will never go back! EVER!
Great Place! – I love this place. Several years ago I went here for the 1st time. After I had only been that 1 time the bartender remembered me and my friend and talked to us and gave great, prompt service all night. She is still there to this day. Always a great place to meet new people. Great service, music, and drinks!! When I want a night out, this place is a no brainer. I have also been to the Soulard location and also love that location although I feel the service is more personable on the landing. The entire staff: bartenders and security are the best in St. Louis. Always familar faces, as they don't seem to have a prob with turn over rate with their staff, which is always good.
Nice beer garden – We had a great experience sitting on the beer garden and sharing 16 oz bottles with friends. The weather was great and waitress suggested getting the "cadillac" and was it was great. Others had the half priced appetizers for happy hour and the ones I snagged of mushrooms & wings were pretty tasty.
The inside was huge & empty during this nice day, but could see that it was more of a dance club.
WOST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! – WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!! DO NOT GO HERE.... I booked a party for 10 here and it was a nightmare.. The waitress was good, but the manager had no idea what he was doing and got one of my friends arrested by lying to the police!! I bought a GROUPON and had a party for 10. Things started to go wrong when "the manager" tried charging me 10% sales tax on a $650 bill... I only paid $99 for the party and wasn't about to pay tax on something I didn't pay for ($650 worth of food and boose). The manager immediately began arguing with me and said, "You are going to pay this bill or I am calling the police". Me being hard-headed I told him to call the police. Cops show up and I told them, they said I only had to pay tax on the $99. He was so pissed that I was right... About 5 minutes later I told my friend what happened and he called Charles (the manager) an a..hole (which he was totally right) and the manager immediately had two bouncers put my friend in a chokehold and an armbar and took him to the ground. The manager then called the cops back to the bar and lied to the police telling them, "this guy threatened me... He said he was going to kick my butt outside..." which was a total lie!!!!!!! He ended up getting my friend arrested and he spent the night down at the city jail.. I will NEVER go back and WOULD NOT recommend that you do either!!
Cheap Drinks! – I just love Big Daddys. Its a great place to go to meet new people and all the bartenders are so nice and fast! I live far from the landing but i drive all the way out there almost every weekend just to go here. The dance floor is huge, drinks are cheap, and they play great music!
terrible night – I took my friend there for her bday, the bartender was straight rude, the beers were damn near 6 dallors, the music was likr being at a high school reunion. if ur freshly 21 yeah ll have a good time . they say they play dancing music but who dances to 70s and 80s music anymore, dont get me wrong im an 80s baby, but leave the 80s where they were. i felt like i should have brought my parents!! And the bartender was very rude and disrespectfull! If she doesnt like her job maybe she should quit or get fired. VERY unhappy. Big Daddys used to be fun. Now its a place for Older folks!!
Party Bar with a great happy hour – The surprise of this late night party bar is having happy hour on the patio.
I like the 1/2 priced appetizes and prices drinks before 7. The outside is great place to just hang out.
The weekend party has been getting a bit too crowded after 1.

Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
This week in Origins news, a few different takes on the new COSMOS series on Fox, some intriguing discoveries and theories about dinosaurs, and a smattering of articles supporting women in science—who are often an underrepresented group in STEM fields.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.

RENO — After competing against 96 other school districts and education organizations for funding through the Teacher Incentive Fund grant program (TIF), the Washoe County School District placed near the top of the list and will be receiving more than $9 million during the next five years to implement new programs that promote excellence in teaching.
The U.S. Department of Education announced that the WCSD received the 10th highest score out of the 62 applicants that were awarded funding.
The purpose of the TIF grant is to strengthen the education profession by rewarding excellence, attracting teachers and principals to high-need and hard to staff areas, and providing all teachers and principals with the feedback and support they need to succeed.
The U.S. Department of Education reports that the applicants were judged on their comprehensive plans to develop, reward and support effective teachers and principals in high-need schools, based on evaluations that include multiple measures, including student growth. The WCSD's application laid out a comprehensive plan to provide support and growth opportunities for teachers and principals.
WCSD Board of Trustee member Ken Grein said the TIF grant will be fundamental in creating a district that ensures its employees are providing the best quality education possible.
"This grant will allow the District to build a system that helps teachers and principals improve what they do in their classrooms every day," Grein said. "Supporting our teachers and principals is essential to improving student achievement for all of our children."
Kristen McNeill, the district's chief officer of state and federal programs and K-16 initiatives, said the district's award is targeted for continued school improvement efforts at Sun Valley Elementary School and Vaughn Middle School and in the seven School Improvement Grant (SIG) schools.
The SIG schools are ones that have been identified as in need of improving student performance. The funding will be used to fully develop the principal and teacher performance growth systems, which are plans based on the idea to continuously improve of the quality of teaching. The grant also will provide the funding for the staff needed to analyze and manage the program.
"This funding will go a long way to help build the professional capacity of our teachers and principals," McNeill said. "The plan we outlined in our application fits perfectly with the District's strategic goal to recruit and support highly effective personnel."
The funding also will be used to create a career ladder program, which provides additional opportunities for teachers to grow professionally by becoming mentor and master teachers in the District. The grant also provides funding for incentives for administrators, teachers, and classified staff at each of the nine schools.
WCSD Board of Trustee member Nancy Hollinger spoke about the impact this funding will have on the teachers and principals in the District.
"I am extremely proud of the work that went into this grant application," Hollinger said. "As a former teacher, I know about the value of continuously working to become a better educator for our children. This funding will give our teachers and principals the resources the District needs to allow them to grow professionally."
The U.S. Department of Education awarded the first two years of funding, about $4.3 million, on Sept. 23. Congress will need to reauthorize the funding for the additional three years.

TraceCloud, A SAAS ALM / Requirements Management system
Failure to Define, Track and Manage Requirements is the root cause of many failed projects and cost over runs. When you look back at some of your old projects, you may recognize these symptoms: * Lack of clearly defined Requirements * Relationship between Requirements was not clear. Which led to o Changes to Business Requirements that were not communicated to Developers o Changes to Functional Requirements that QA was not aware of, hence did not test o Unauthorized Changes to Requirements * Lack of visibility into a Project's trouble spots * Lack of a way to easily report on Requirements and their status.A Requirements Management Tool like TraceCloud and a 'Requirements Management Plan' that you define can go a long way towards solving these problems.

I am doing renovations on my house and am remodeling the bathroom. I was anxious about having a 'plastic' tub, so I opted to go to a well known plumbing supply house and get their house-brand bathtub. It is 'solid acrylic' backed with fiberglass. The plumber commented 'this is a good tub!' before installing it.
The first tub had draining problems. Water would immediately rush to the right side of the tub, and some would just stay pooled in the corner. I contacted the manufacturer and received another tub under warranty.
The second tub came. The plumber unwrapped the box and found dimples in the finish, and said it would also have draining problems. I leveled the tub and put a rag under the drain and found that it drains better, but not perfect. I contacted the supply house and was given the option of a repair or replacement (and they even covered some of the labor). Their advice was to try a different model, apparently the model I got has problems with draining and they are working through bugs in the mold. They said they stand behind their product, and many people who work there use this brand tub.
The third tub came - same brand, different model. I had it installed, and lo and behold, it pools water in the corner. I sent pictures to the supply house, who said 'after reviewing with another associate, we don't see it as a problem, but we will support your decision either way.' I poured some red juice in the water, and the sitting water covers the entire corner from the edge of the drain to the wall of the tub. It will obviously cause issues with staining/cleanliness, and should not be this way for a $500-$600 bathtub.
This weekend I investigated further. The 'ledges' of the tub are not straight. The back side is, but as you go forward it seems to bow to the outside. The front ledge is completely bowed, high in the center and low at the outside edges. If the bottom follows this same profile, it is no wonder it does not drain. It does not seem feasible to try to bend the tub into a level plane - the material is very thick. Furthermore I am having the walls tiled and this will likely show up against the straight lines of the 12x24 (brick lay) tile.
I don't know what to do. I am a single guy and just bought my first (SMALL 3BR) house. I have 2 big bathtubs in my living room and one in my bathroom. I have been without a bathroom now for 2 1/2 months. The builder is getting annoyed because he wants to move on and his schedule is getting interrupted, and the supply house is seemingly getting annoyed at the constant problems.
I appreciate any advice you might have to offer. I am starting to feel overwhelmed.

Serrated alpine ridges can take you to a different world, one of daunting exposure and breathtaking views. And they're typically guarded by thickets of barbed devil's club, crevassed glaciers and endless talus fields. Our super-tough Guide Pants use our best-ever Guide fabric, a Polartec® Power Shield® stretch-woven blend (nylon/polyester/spandex) with Hardface® Technology that dramatically improves the Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish's resistance to wind, water, snow and abrasion, while remaining stretchy and highly breathable. The features are pared to the bare essentials for technical climbing pants: pull-on waist (flat front with drawcord, elastic back), three zippered pockets (two front, one rear) and articulated knees. Further detailing includes a brushed interior for next-to-skin comfort and trim, elasticized cuffs that fit well over alpine boots, with tie-down grommets for attaching under-heel cords.
- Polartec® Power Shield® stretch-woven nylon/polyester soft-shell fabric is highly breathable, durable, and wind- and water-resistant
- Partially elasticized pull-on waistband with internal drawcord adjustment
- Brushed interior for next-to-skin comfort
- Two handwarmer pockets and one right rear drop-in pocket have zippers with a DWR finish
- Articulated knees for mobility
- Alpine boot-compatible tapered cuffs with metal eyelets for tie-down loops
- 7.1-oz Polartec® Power Shield® stretch-woven 46% nylon/46% polyester/8% spandex with Hardface® Technology and a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish
- 468 g (16.5 oz)
- Made in Vietnam.
Patagonia's proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, DWR, lasts substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the DWR finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.

Photo Friday - Pale Pink
Every Friday for the next few weeks, I am planning to offer a new item inspired by a photograph. In truth, today's design is inspired not only by this photo, but by Amy's request for pale pink shoes for her daughter. The Evy shoes are pink linen, great for summer, and will be available Monday night, June 28 at 9 pm CST. I will add the listing to my website with additional photos and pricing over the weekend. I have a list of additional shoes, styles, and sizes on Facebook. Have a lovely weekend, and special thanks to Sixth and Main for the inspiration.

More than 6,000 cars are registered to participate in the different events the Reno-Sparks area offers this week. Monetary prizes this year include more than $100,000 in the Sparks Show-N-Shine competition, where locals can flaunt their cars to the public and a handful of judges.
"More than 10,000 classic cars will cruise Reno-Sparks," said Ashley Brune, Hot August Night's public relations manager. "Thirty-eight states and two countries are represented."
"There's a high boost with more people coming out this year," Sparks city councilman Ed Lawson said. "We expect quite a few people to show up this year — 20,000 to 30,00 people per night in downtown Sparks. During the peak of the recession, attendance was low, but we have picked up. This year is going to be a great one."
A huge difference this year, Lawson added, is the Barrett-Jackson auto auction, a first-time event in Hot August Nights history. Held at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, auto lovers will be able to bid on classic and historic automobiles.
The auction will be held Aug. 8-10. For the winners with the high bids, they can take their prize from the convention center straight to the Victorian Avenue nightly cruise, as cruise and event registration is included with the winning price tag.
"You don't need to leave Victorian Square to check out great cars," Lawson said. "Sparks is a great place to come if you have a family. We have a lot going on for everyone."
Hot August Nights has already parked in downtown Reno to kickoff the week-long celebration of classic cars and rock n' roll, but the Rail City launched its festivities today, bringing thousands of people to Victorian Avenue and downtown Sparks for dozens of activities throughout the week.
The fun kicks off early Tuesday morning, as it will continue through Saturday in Sparks, with the Ultimate Classic Car Competition at John Ascuaga's Nugget, allowing contestants to enter various manufactured cars from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and nightly awards are announced at 6 p.m. Tuesday's car competition will occur alongside the Victorian Square Craft Fair and the Kid's Carnival (beginning Wednesday) happening daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the area between the Nugget and Bourbon Square Casino.
The ever-popular cruises down Victorian Avenue begin at 7 p.m. each night through Saturday and are considered "controlled cruises" with the exception of Tuesday night's open cruise. Cruises crowds of people pack both sides of Victorian Avenue to catch a glimpse of jazzed-up classic cars and, as the Hot August Nights organization aims to, bring some nostalgia to the 1950s and 1960s era of "innocence, prosperity, cars and the birth of Rock and Roll."
Sparks-based company Summit Racing Equipment is joining the events this week hosting a Show-N-Shine event Tuesday from 2-6 p.m. and an Under-21 Show-N-Shine competition from 4 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday. Awards and prizes will be handed out as part of the event at 960 Glendale Ave. in Sparks.
The events under the scorching sun are just the beginning. Evening entertainment will highlight the three main Sparks venues (Bourbon Square Casino, the Nugget and Victorian Square) with acts like Night Flight, 60's Summer of Love, Chasen 50's, Hot Rods, Ronny & The Classics, Baker Street Band, Lil' Elmo and the Cosmos, Steppen Stonz, Midnight Decoy, Sonny Turner, Tower of Power and Vibra-Tones.
The evening will also feature the return of the Drag Races and Burnouts in the Nugget's west parking lot for a third consecutive year. Vehicles 1972 and older, and of American or European make, will add even more excitement with the burnouts and drag races on about an 1/8-mile track beginning Wednesday and continuing through Saturday night. Cash prizes will go to the top three finishers each night and the winners from the week will race at 11 p.m. Saturday.
The Nugget spearheaded bringing back the evening event after a near 10-year hiatus in the area. Stephen Ascuaga, Chief Operating Officer at the Nugget, said it is an event that will be eye catching and exhilarating for Sparks visitors.
"Pushing back the drags until later in the evening will allow even more people to attend, making the event bigger and better than last year," Ascuaga said.
If one owns a classic car and is interested in participating in Hot August Nights, it is not too late to register for the week-long event. The event is open to American cars and European classics made before 1972. The entry fee is $170 per car and proof of insurance of the car is required. Hot August Nights is also accepting volunteers. If you wish to volunteer, volunteer sign-up is done through the Hot August Nights website.
On Aug. 1, 1986, the Reno-Sparks Convention Center hosted the first Hot August Nights event, showing off classic cars and hosting a live performance from the Righteous Brothers and Wolfman Jack. The first year of the event brought together 10,000 classic car appreciators, allowing them to celebrate the 1950s and 1960s — a time when life moved at a slower pace and the event continues to grow each year. Many locals look forward to the traditional Hot August Nights Events, such as the car cruising, firework shows and celebratory sock-hops and Prom dances.
At all Hot August Nights events, participants can enter a raffle to win a 1971 Corvette T-top with a 350 engine and 330 horse power. Proceeds from this raffle will benefit the Hot August Nights Foundation, an organization that provides low-income Nevada high school students with college and trade school scholarships and during family financial hardships. The drawing for the Corvette T-top will be drawn Saturday, Nov. 30.

Sam Hutchinson
Born in Slough on 3 August 1989, Hutchinson is a right-back or centre-back who has been with the club since the age of seven, it was announced at the beginning of December 2011 that Sam had signed a new one-and-a-half-year contract.
It was very good news given he had retired from professional football in August 2010 due to a chronic knee injury.
Following that retirement Sam remained working in Chelsea's Academy while studying for coaching qualifications and after a period of rest, a notable improvement in his condition was noted. He began the 2011/12 season testing his fitness by playing for the reserve team until the decision was taken that he could resume as a professional, remaining with the reserves squad while he builds-up his training intensity.
Sam made his first team debut as a substitute against Everton in the final league game of the 2006/07 season. He was then part of the first team pre-season visit to the United States that followed, ex-manager José Mourinho speaking about him as a future member of the Chelsea squad.
However after just five reserve games in 2007/08, injury brought the season to a halt. Further time on the sidelines was required in the middle section of the 2008/09 season, limiting Sam to six reserve league games.
The early signs were good in the 2009/10 season after another successful pre-season tour in the US with the first team. Sam played well as a sub against Fulham in a Premier League game in August 2009 and then started his first match against QPR in the Carling Cup. That was immediately followed by a first call into the England Under 21 squad although he didn't play. He previously was capped at Under 18 and Under 19 levels.
However Sam did not appear for the Chelsea first team again until the following April when he came on as a sub and crossed for Frank Lampard to score in a 7-0 home win against Stoke. A back injured in that short appearance curtailed plans for further minutes on the pitch that season and then a further set back with his knees (which had previously undergone surgery and expert consultation in the United States) at the start of the next campaign precipitated the retirement announcement, now happily reversed.
Sam has resumed his previous role as reserve team captain and was named on the first team bench for the first time since his return on New Year's Eve 2011.
Finishing the season on a positive note, he came on as a late substitute in the 6-1 win against Queens Park Rangers at Stamford Bridge in April, before starting against Blackburn Rovers on the final day of the campaign.
A few days prior to the start of the 2012/13 season, the decision was taken for Hutchinson to join Nottingham Forest on a season-long loan deal.
He made his debut as a late substitute in a 1-1 draw against Huddersfield Town, and scored the winning goal in Forest's 2-1 win over Charlton a few weeks later.
After an injury saw him return to Stamford Bridge for treatment, Hutchinson headed back to Nottingham in February with Forest by that stage under the stewardship of Billy Davies. Having made nine appearances over the course of the season, six of them starts, he picked up an injury in mid-April that shortened his season.
After working hard on strengthening work during the 2013 close season, Hutchinson moved on loan to the Dutch top flight on transfer deadline day, to play for Vitesse Arnhem, before being recalled in January.
On 14 February he was loaned to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday until 12 March. Having made four appearances, the loan was then extended until 9 April.

Taking Punches is a Sucker's Game
There are two camps when it comes to issues of harassment, bullying, diversity, and making inclusive communities, especially when the medium is online or in the tech industry. Without trying to let my own bias tilt my presentation, I think these two camps can be summed up with the following sayings:
"Even if you think it's a light jab, you shouldn't throw punches."
"I've taken worse and haven't been bruised. You need to learn how to take a punch."
If you don't think the low rates of women and minorities participating in the tech industry is fundamentally a problem that should be corrected, you can stop reading now and save yourself a few minutes. But software developers are in high demand. There's a lot of great software out there waiting to be written. And while the current generation is much more technically literate than say, 30 years ago, raising the general level of technical expertise would blossom the possibilities for more sophisticated products and avenues of communication. We should get as many people across all demographics on board as possible.
I'm not going to talk solely about sexism itself in the tech industry (though at the front of my views on that are pointing out how widely the Internet blames Adria Richards for the dongle-joker's firing rather than Play Haven, who did the actual firing.) But I also want to talk about inclusion and how to build community, and the attitudes that tear community down.
Again, there are a lot of people who don't view it as a problem, or at least if it is a problem it's one that doesn't deserve addressing. Most of the time these are people who are already in the community, and see any active outreach as unnecessary or even unfair. "I didn't need someone to hold my hand. If that's what they need (or worse, demand) then they're self-selecting themselves out of tech industry anyway."
I simplify (perhaps oversimplify, but this just my casual commentary) the issue into the "Don't throw punches" and "Learn to take a punch" camps but they encompass a lot of attitudes that I've seen before (especially in the last couple of days): "That wasn't professional." "Lighten up, it's just a joke." "Not cool." "It was a private conversation anyway."
I simplify the issue into two camps, and I completely, utterly place my chips in the former, not the later. Being able to take a punch may be sufficient to get along in a heterogeneous community, but discouraging people from throwing them is absolutely necessary for holding one together.
* * *
"I've taken worse and haven't been bruised."
The comment in poor taste, the slide with the technically-not-nude porn image, the staring, the unsolicited proposition, the following, the boys locker room humor, the unconsented photographing, the hired booth staffer in the skintight outfit meant to arouse "the crowd" (i.e. heterosexual men), the "not a real developer" comments, the flier with outright sexist garbage anonymously posted up on the public wall, the antagonism you get when you tear down the flier.
As common as these things are at tech and geek conferences (and they are common), they aren't things people call the cops over. Often the police aren't even brought in when it escalates to stalking or an arm-grab. But they are more than enough to make people give up on participating. Since it doesn't involve law enforcement or courts, many people treat these things lightly. The common attitude (and it is common) is: If there's a problem, it's because the person bringing up the problem is creating it.
This trivializing of incidents as "you're too sensitive" sends a clear message: "That's your problem. You're on your own."
The later camp either hasn't experienced this targeted at them or if they have, they've accepted it as a small part of the price of admission. This isn't welcoming, it's hazing. Hazing is neat little psychological trick: by undergoing some humiliation or pain, you can get someone to ascribe value to a community (after all, if it wasn't valuable, why did they take those punches for it?) It further also makes them want (or at least allow) to continue hazing new members: if you had to do it, then why should they get a free pass?

Duane Roen will discuss the family experiences that offer rich material for writing and will share strategies for beginning the process, including an easy hands-on activity that will get participants writing about a memorable family member, place, or event (so please bring paper and pen or laptop). Participants will respond in writing to a series of questions designed to generate concrete details about family stories. After recording these details, participants will be invited to share their writing with the group. In turn, the group will be encouraged to offer constructive feedback that will help writers develop their writing further. This is the first in a series of three writing workshops focusing on journaling and personal and family history. Each workshop has a different focus. You may participate in one, two, or all three. There is no charge for this program.
Duane Roen is Professor of English at Arizona State University, where he serves as Assistant Vice Provost for University Academic Success, as well as Head of Interdisciplinary and Liberal Studies in the School of Letters and Sciences. He also coordinates the Project for Writing and Recording Family History (http://sls.asu.edu/humanities/familyhistory/). Throughout his professional life, Duane has taught students how to write more effectively—how to tailor their messages for specific audiences and for specific purposes. He has published nine books, and he has authored more than 250 articles, chapters, and conference presentations.

Durham inflicted a first defeat in 21 LV= County Championship matches upon Lancashire at Old Trafford, scoring the remaining 113 runs needed on day four
Australian left hander Michael Di Venuto proved to be a calming influence in their quest to combat spin twins Gary Keedy and Simon Kerrigan, although he was helped out by Dale Benkenstein.
Di Venuto passed 50 for the seventh time this season as the North East side jumped above the Red Rose in the Division One table with five games to go.
Although Di Venuto fell for 63 off 123 balls to Keedy just before lunch, Benkenstein ensured his side won by six wickets during the early stages of the afternoon session with an unbeaten 41 off 119 balls.
Keedy finished with figures of 3-60 from 32 overs, claiming a ten-for for the sixth time in his career with match figures of 10-128 from 53.2 overs.
Three points clear of Glen Chapple's men, Durham are 27 points behind leaders Nottinghamshire.
"I don't think we're out of it because of who we've got to play," said Peter Moores at the close of play. "We've got to go to Canterbury and get a win to get ourselves back in the hunt.
"If we don't win we're under real pressure. To win the Championship, you're probably looking at four wins out of five.
"If you do start to win, you can suddenly get on a bit of a roll. We hope we can get a couple of wins to get us back in the mix."
Durham started the day on 58-2 from 21 overs, and Kerrigan provided the breakthrough when he bowled night-watchman Mitch Claydon for eight to leave the score at 80-3.
Di Venuto was happy to drop anchor, and reached his 50 off 103 balls with four fours included. But not before Benkenstein had hit three fours off Kerrigan and Keedy to keep the scoreboard ticking.
Umpires Trevor Jesty and Nick Cook turned down a series of lbw shouts, while Benkenstein survived a run out chance on 16 when Steven Croft, in the covers, narrowly missed hitting the stumps at the non-striker's end.
Keedy claimed his tenth wicket of the match when he had Di Venuto brilliantly caught by a diving Croft at mid wicket to leave the score at 132-4, and he could have had his eleventh the next ball when Mark Chilton couldn't quite hang on to a sharp chance off the bat of Ian Blackwell at short leg.
Paul Horton also carpeted a tough chance at slip off Keedy to reprieve Benkenstein on 36, and that proved to Lancashire's last chance.
Blackwell hit the winning runs, a cover driven four, off Kerrigan in the 69th over.
Moores added: "I thought it was a really good game of cricket. It had an old fashioned feel to it, lots of spin being bowled, lots of men around the bat.
"We were always a bit light on runs in both innings, 50 light in the first and 50 in the second. Add a 100 runs – and, if we'd set them 270, it would have been a really good contest."
Lancashire, who face Kent on Wednesday, play Nottinghamshire twice and Somerset at Taunton before the end of the season.

Even though Valentine's Day is over, the season of love lasts all year round and the number of singles searching for love on their smartphones is booming at 13.7 million in November 2012, double the rate from the previous year, ABC News reported.
Companies like OK Cupid and Tinder both offer smartphone apps to help singles find dates. OK Cupid uses math to help find matches, while Tinder finds out who likes you nearby, according to the companies websites.
While using apps to find love is growing, online dating sites are getting fewer visitors – about 22.9 million visitors used online dating sites in January 2012 compared with 29.3 million in 2011, ABC News reported.
And according to Wall Street Journal, over the past decade only 17 percent of heterosexual couples met online while 41 percent of same-sex couples met online during the same period.
Patch wants to know: Have you used an app or online dating sites to find dates? Do you think they work? If you haven't, would you consider letting technology help match you with a date?
